SPOT CHECK-THE GAME LEVELS - page 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warehouse: Woodland Hills
Practice up in an abandoned warehouse full of ramps, pipes, rails, and gaps. This is the
best place to get the basics down before rippin' it up in the rest of the game.
School: Miami
Dumpsters, lunch tables, and long rails. Ahhh... paradise can be found in this deserted
school!! And don't forget to carve up the pools for some huge air and sweet transfers!
Anybody for a game of hoops in the gym?
Mall: New York
Take a little after-hours stroll through the indoor/outdoor mall. This place is filled with
huge stair sets and escalators just beggin' to be cleared. Check out the upper level for
some killer gaps!
Contest 1: Skate Park, Chicago
You've got three runs to take it out on all of the other pro skaters in the "Windy City
Slam" contest. Five judges will score each run based on variety, difficulty, and style.
When all is said and done, the top three finishers will recieve shiny new medals to wear
around their necks.
Downtown: Minneapolis
Dodge traffic and air it out over the fountain in the center court. This is a nice
wide-open scene with lots of kicker ramps and fire escapes that make for some insane grind
combos. And who said you have to stick to the streets? Rip up everything in sight and try
to make it to the roof tops for some serious gaps.
Downhill Jam: Phoenix
Speed. Air. Speed. Air. Speed. Air. Get the picture? This crazy downhill run, set in a
river gorge, is the place to be if you're looking for over-the-top speed and air. Grab the
high rails and paths overhead for the scores that'll have even the big boys scratchin'
their heads. Did we mention speed and air.
Contest 2: Burnside, Portland
This is the final contest before you make your way to the skate mecca in San Francisco. The
rules are the same as the first contest. Five judges, three runs, ten competitors, three
medals. This familiar spot under an Oregon Bridge has some killer lines that make for huge
points, so get creative and bust out the combos that'll get you that gold.
Streets: San Francisco
Skaters will recognize spots like Hubba Hideout and EMB (R.I.P) while tourists can stick to
Lombard Street and Chinatown. Grind anything and everything and be sure to hit the long
rails and tons of gaps along the way. Only the best can tear it up enough to get a final
mystery invatation to an enigmatic, not so far off land. Hmmm...
Contest 3
Have you seen him? Yup...and if you thought that thing was cool ten years ago, you ain't
seen nothin' yet!
